The rest of the week went by quickly. I made sure that someone accompanied me to every class so not to have the same incident that had happened on Monday happen again.

When Friday afternoon reached a close, I felt completely exhausted. I knew that the group wanted to meet up to discuss plans for Hogsmeade the next day, but all I could think about was my bed and my pillow and sleep.

As I walked into the common room that night, I was met with Fred, George, Alicia, and Angelina who were waiting for me, as predicted, to discuss the plans for tomorrow's Hogsmeade trip.

I really didn't want to go; I wasn't looking to do anything against school rules and I really just wanted the time to be able to relax and re-cooperate from the awful week I had been having.

It didn't take much to convince me that I needed to go. Fred continually expressed how happy Oliver would be to see me come out from the passageway that led into Honeydukes. I definitely wanted to surprise him, especially after I had avoided him for much of the week.

After Monday's fiasco I had been sticking to my dormitory only coming out to eat and attend classes. Fred and George told him it was 'my time of the month'; I actually appreciated them lying for me because I was never good at lying myself.

It was nice to know they had my back, even though they didn't know exactly why I was confining myself to my room.

"So Katie, recite the plan for me one last time, please," Fred asked, sitting on the edge of the cushion on the couch nearest the fire in the common room.

I let out a big sigh.

"Alright, I watch you all leave tomorrow morning and tell Oliver to have a good time without me. I pretend that I'm heading back up to the common room but double back saying that I must have dropped my wand. I go down to the third floor corridor with the one eyed witch. I tap on her with my wand and say Dissendium which will open up the passageway that leads to Hogsmeade."

"Exactly," George exclaimed excitedly.

"And we'll be waiting for you at the end of the cellar when you come out," Fred added.

After we were all confident that the plan would work I said my good night to the twins and the girls so they could spend a little time alone.

I began moving from the fire towards the stairs leading to my dormitory when a hand reached out and grabbed me. I let out a small gasp, before seeing it was only Oliver.

"Hey, Katie… is everything okay?" he asked.

"Oh hey Oliver, yeah I'm fine," I answered. He looked me over, obviously not believing what I was saying.

"Really, I'm fine… I just needed some time to catch up on my classes this week that's all," I said taking a seat next to him.

Oliver wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and let out a light sigh of relief.

"I just thought you were having second thoughts about… me," he admitted.

'Where did he come up with that?' I wondered.

True I hadn't been spending time with him, but he should know how much trouble I've been having with potions, and after what Fred and George informed, or misinformed him of, he should know that wanting my alone time had nothing to do with not wanting to be with him.

"Truly Oliver between potions and charms I've just been a bit overwhelmed this week that's all." I told him.

"Well then would you want to do something tomorrow?" he asked.

"Well I already had plans, sort of."

He eyed me curiously. "Plans... with Leanne?" he questioned.

"Yeah, seeing as you would be going to Hogsmeade, I figured I'd spend some time with her since I haven't really had much time lately." I didn't have trouble lying to him this time seeing as it was a surprise for him.

"I would give up going to Hogsmeade if it meant spending time with you," Oliver said charmingly.

It was sweet, but I can't let in; the twins would kill me if the plan didn't go through.

"I'm sorry babe, I made plans!" I repeated.

It was hard not to give in to his pleas; he looked so cute sitting there begging for me to go.

"What about Sunday then? You made plans that day too?" he asked, a little standoffish.

I could tell he was beginning to cop and attitude and this wasn't the way I pictured my night ending.

"Not at all," I defended myself. "Now drop the attitude, would you like to do something Sunday?" I asked.

"Well yeah, I would like to spend time with my girlfriend at least once this week," he lightened up.

I hadn't thought of us as boyfriend and girlfriend, but I did like the tone of it. In the back of my mind I wondered what my parents would think if they knew I had a boyfriend.

"Well then it's a date. Sunday, you can practice quidditch with me," I giggled. I knew it was his soft spot; he had to agree with me.

"Okay," he nodded his head in agreement.

"Good," I smiled and gave him a hug.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" I asked. He nodded his head again and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Good night Katie."

"Night," I said heading towards my room.

When I walked into the dorm, Yvette was no where to be seen and I figured she must have been off with her hufflepuff friends.

I felt slightly guilty that I hadn't been spending time with Leanne. Its obvious if Yvette could spend time with other house kids I should have time too. I mentally noted I needed to start making more of an effort to see my best friend.

It quickly slipped my mind as I changed into more comfortable attire and quickly fell off into sweet dreams.

The next morning I woke up early and dressed as if it were an ordinary Saturday. I walked into the common room where the twins were already sitting and waiting.

"Well good morning Bell!" the twins said simultaneously, grins plastered on their face.

"Good morning," I said cheerfully walking up and sitting next to them.

We were the only three in the common room. Anticipation was running through my veins. The excitement and the risk that the plan contained were running through my head. I began to tap my feet up and down and started to fidget uncontrollably.

"Bell seriously get yourself together or someone will figure out you're up to something!" George whispered over Fred's shoulder.

Coming to my senses I stopped tapping and instead took to looking towards the staircases that led to the girl's dormitories hoping that Alicia and Angelina would be down soon.

"Hey Charlie, Travis, what are you two doing up so early?" Fred asked.

I turned and looked at the stairs leading to the boys dormitories. Both Charlie and Travis were coming down the stairs and nearing where we were sitting.

I could see the two staring at me curiously, and saw a look in Travis' eyes; the same look I saw whenever Oliver looked at me.

I was shocked slightly to see a seventh year boy looking at me, but I didn't care. My thoughts were on what Oliver's face would like when he saw me in Hogsmeade.

I was even surprised I hadn't looked at Charlie, who I had still been silently admiring from afar.

"Thought we might try our luck with a new bunch of gals this morning," Charlie winked at his brothers.

Travis grunted never taking his eyes off of me. When I did come out of my trance I couldn't stop staring at Charlie.

"Bell right?" Charlie asked me. I felt my cheeks redden as I shook my head not able to say the word yes.

"Aye, I reckon Wood's been telling me about wanting you on the quidditch team next year… Best start coming to practices with the lot; you have a lot to learn," he said.

"Okay," I nervously spoke.

Although I was with Oliver, Charlie would never leave my wildest fantasies. His muscular body and fair complexion, mixed with the red hair and freckles were enough for any girl to desire.

I watched as the two walked out of the portrait hole before looking at Fred and George. I must have had a lustful look on my face.

"Remember what I said Katie, he's too old for you… and plus now you have Wood!" Fred said.

I knew he was right, I laughed nervously.

"What's so funny?" Oliver asked coming down the stairs.

"Just one of Fred's stupid jokes," I replied.

The four of us waited for Alicia and Angelina, which took exceptionally long. Afterwards the lot of us walked down to the great hall and had breakfast. When we were done I sat in the entrance hall and watched as the twins and girls walked out onto the grounds towards Hogwarts.

Oliver turned to me and smiled, "I'll see you soon."

I returned the smile with a soft chuckle, "I know, possibly sooner than you think."

Giving me one last hug and a peck on the cheek I watched as he jogged to join a tall dark haired Ravenclaw. I assumed it was the friend he had told me about and related to Leanne.

I waited a few minutes before walking back up the stairs. As I reached the fourth floor I pretended that I had dropped my wand and headed back to the third floor. Looking around I waited until there was no one in the corridor before tapping on the statue of the one-eyed witch.

"Dissendium." I was half expecting nothing to happen, but butterflies started rising in my stomach as the statue moved to the side and a hole opened up.

"Lumos," I whispered softly.

I walked softly through the passageway for what felt like an eternity before hitting the end of the path. I reached up like George had told me to do and felt a soft opening. As I pushed harder it opened up to reveal a cellar, which from the twins' told me was the top of Honeydukes. I looked around but saw no sign of either of the twins.

Opening the door I peaked out.

I didn't see anyone.

I shut the cellar door for a moment before peaking back out.

Not seeing anyone I decided to wait on the twins to come snatch me up. I sat on a crate full of sweets and waited… and waited, until the door opened.

"Well hello again Bell."
